It ties a bit into my second post. Our usual method of multiplication assumes that digits are assigned a specific weight based on their position. As you probably know, when we move our partial product computations to the left while doing our nostalgic primary-school multiplication algorithm...

Okay, never mind, I figured out how multiplication works. But now I have another question. I know that in 4 bit unsigned binary, the number places have weights of 23 22 21 20 just like in decimal with 103 102 101 100. However, in two's complement, the weights are -23 22 21 20, which is why 1111...

Homework Statement I need to understand how signed multiplication is done in 2's to 10's complement.Homework Equations The complement D' of a number D with m digits in base r is rm - D. So, the complement of 010 in binary (2 in dec) is 1000 - 010 = 110 (-2, but 6 if it were unsigned). We add a...
